So much wrong! Bayliss on a Yamaha? Emmm..
Also Rossi beat Loreznzo when they were both on the Yamaha. And one other thing is Rossi finished ahead of Stoner in Stoner's last year after wrecking his leg and missing 4 races so he didn't pummel the competition on that bike. He came 4th. He won in 2007 on a completely unrelated bike when Ducati got the jump in power terms in the first year of 800s. If you watched that season you will have seen a bike that was stupidly faster than anything out there and everybody was shocked by it when they saw the first race.

You also neglect to mention that Stoner's 2nd championship came in 2011 when Honda tried everything and pumped massive amounts of money into their GP team in order to win an 800 championship which they had never managed. The Honda was embarassingly faster than everything else and they ran 4 factory bikes. Only the Yamaha being a slightly better handling bike and Lorenzo's consistency allowed him to finish as well as he did.

Rossi was running pretty much identical times to Stoner the year before when he went to Ducati but amazingly Honda and Yamaha improved their bikes - something Ducati haven't seemed to manage since 2009/2010. But sure they are all the same as 2007 right?

To sum up Stoner won when he had the best bike in 2010 and a clear rocket ship in 2007. So your anti Rossi spin also applies to him!

And to clear up I'm not a fan boy of anybody, but the weird vendetta that Stoner lovers all seem to have annoys me, as does selective memory and saying that the 2007 bikes relate in any way to current ones!

Well said, I couldn't agree more with your observation. To compare the times from Stoner in 2010 and Rossi in 2011, have a look at post #27 in this thread:
